Julia and Gavin at Wilbur chase Ruddington are tremendous. They cannot do enough for you when looking to purchase a house on the development. They explained every to us very clearly. They are both an asset to Avant homes.

Shocking aftercare
After 6 months we still haven't got a washer door (we paid £800 extra of integrated washer) or undercounter lights which we also paid extra for. Our velux windows were installed incorrectly, and not been addressed, there are many more snags also, we email weekly, put in formal complaint but not had a response in 2 months

Better experience second time round
Our first experience of buying a new build was a bit of a disaster though in the end we were happy enough with the house. Nothing daunted, we opted for another new build and the experience with Avant has been far more positive, even thouugh we were delayed by Covid. After three months we still have a few snagging issues to be sorted but on the whole are very pleased with our new home.

Sarah’s Superb Service
Fantastic meeting Sarah to discuss the development timescales. She clearly explained the process and answered all my queries. She also advised where to view show homes at other nearby sites that match the house style I’m after.

Great experience with Abi at Odette's Point in Keighley - very professional and knowledgeable a definite asset to Avant Homes. We were taken through the process of selecting a plot and making a reservation without any pushy sales banter - a joy to deal with.

Avant - Customer Service Experience
It has been a great experience buying home from Avant. The process was straightforward, transparent and simple. Fantastic customer service after buying home, very cooperative and supportive, immediate attention on the snag lists and quick action. I have been in contact with Chris Locke and he is very responsive, accommodative, and approachable.

Personal review
Laura who does most of the snag job follow ups is an asset to the company . Laura turned up to every appointment on time when she was due to do a job. She was always polite and her work is excellent. Laura always cleared up afterwards and left everything clean and tidy. Middlebeck resident.

Almost 2 Yesrs on and still have unresolved issues. Poor workmanship, terrible after sales being passed from pillar to post, dealing contractors ourselves, no shows,more poor workmanship and what seems like a complete lack of interest in customer satisfaction. This company is all about the flash and the sales then drops you from a great height.

435 days later!!!!!
435 days later!!!!!Just in case you’ve missed my previous reviews, I thought I’d post an update.I’ve lived in my house 435 days, and I still have day 1 snags!!! Not small snags either! Avoid Avant Homes! Just read these reviews! You’ll note the good reviews are those of great sales teams and nice friendly sales staff… this is true, almost unanimously. The horrors begin when you move in! Avoid!

Love the house and layout BUT it’s been built terribly bad. The windows are shocking the house is freezing and there’s a system in what they don’t know how it operates leaving us with no extraction in any bathrooms or kitchen since last February. The wall will end up going mouldy. Terrible builder who do not care about customers.

Roads unfinished
Although the sales and small snagging experience was generally positive, the roads on my estate (barley gate) are unfinished still after years. Multiple owners have complained to Avant ref this yet still no timescale
Hello AndrewThank you very much for getting in touch. We are committed to hearing from our customers and taking their feedback seriously.It is my understanding that the reason the roads and remaining footpaths at Barley Gate are not completed is due to some issues with the sewers. However these issues have been noted and have been passed on to the relevant people to take further steps. Apologies if this has not been communicated to you and other residents. I have forwarded your comments to the regional team and the customer care team for the Barley Gate development, and the relevant people should contact you with further updates.Other than this issue, we hope that you are enjoying your Avant Home. Kind regardsAvant Homes

Terrible company
Terrible company, terrible customer service. Once you have parted with your money, they are no longer interested. Be prepared to have correspondence ignored and snags outstanding for months. Sub par finishes to internal and external finishes and the general estate including roads and shared spaces. Steer clear.

Very supportive
We had some really difficult problems with solicitors and Avant went above and beyond to help us. The site manager ian was very informative on our new home demo and the sales Manager( Tom eames ) has been incredibly helpful. Our new home looks fabulous and we are all round very pleased.
